Should I get back into bowling?

[mharr7]

I used to be the best in my league when I was like 10. Have all kinds of trophy's and stuff. Used to have fun with it. But I was a kid. I'm now 25. Should I try to get back into bowling or not?
I was a natural bowler, and picked it up quicker than everyone else I bowled with. Wondering if I should give it a try again to see if everyone else just sucked, or I actually had talent.

Anyone here bowl?

Make sure you don't step over the line: this isn't 'nam, there are rules.

And watch out for The Jesus. He's a pederast.

Absolutely. Bowling is definitely one of my favorite things. If you can join a league that has a handicap point system you won't drag your team down while you relearn the game. As a matter of fact you'd stand a good chance of being the MVP if your proficiency increases at a steady pace.

Maybe if it's on the Wii but if not then who cares.

You're 25? Your still a kid! Ask again when you are in your 40s.

Obviously never played hockey with the old timers. Molson Ice FTW!

Anyways ... yeah man, give it a try ... relatively inexpensive to start ...

I dunno... You seem kind of wishy-washy. This sport takes balls.

No, don't do it. If you do, it will lead to suicide.

I like bowling but have found now that as I age, I hurt in places that have never hurt before after playing for a couple of hours straight.

I do enjoy it though.

I never play on a team or anything.
